Vehicle Description
Benefitting from an extensive redesign effort the very year it came
out, this 2010 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 is about as sharp of an
example of upper echelon Mustangs as you're likely to find. It's
also lightly travelled - having logged only 17,xxx miles - so it's
in its mechanical prime and carries some serious power under its
hood to go along with an exterior tastefully modified at the hands
of the Shelby team that's been associated with performing wizardry
on this respected model pretty much since its debut.
Finished in Performance White with Graber Blue Shelby stripes, THIS
is the Mustang you always wished Ford would build. You just know
that as soon as they started moving forward with the retro-look, it
was probably only a matter of minutes before some designer had
sketched up a muscle-bound Shelby variant. With just 17,000 miles
on the odometer, this Shelby GT500 is pretty much as new in every
measurable way and the highest praise we can offer such a car is
that it is factory fresh. There are some extremely minor signs of
ever having been on the road, which means no road rash behind the
wheel arches, and only a few chips on the nose. Heck, even the
tires look fresh, but you just know someone burned off a few
thousandths in a parking lot somewhere, creating some expensive
tire smoke. Only 225 Performance White with Graber Blue Accents
were built in 2010, making it one of the rarer models, although
looking at this one, you have to wonder why it wasn't more popular,
because it's drop-dead gorgeous.
Inside, the charcoal black leather seats with bright blue stripe
inserts look absolutely fantastic, and believe it or not, still
smells new. There's almost zero wear on the driver's seat, no
scuffs on the door sills, and the carpets have been protected since
day one by floor mats. Shelby's came only one way: loaded. As a
result, there were few options available, and those that were, are
included in this car. Among them is A/C, power windows, keyless
entry, and cruise control were all standard equipment. And being a
modern muscle car, this beast offers the safety of both a driver
and passenger airbag. The trunk is standard Mustang, which means
decent space all finished in mouse-fur upholstery and houses a
speaker box for two subwoofers. That's right, there's some boom to
go with that growl.
This GT500 fully delivers on the promise of its aggressive
exterior. The 5.4-liter supercharged V8 sitting in a very clean
engine bay produces an outstanding 540 horsepower with standard
tuning and it sounds awesome - deep and commanding, without being
too overbearing. The powerplant teams with a 6-speed manual
transmission to give you full control of the otherworldly output on
hand. Shelby focused a lot of effort on taking the Mustang's
already agile handling to a new level, adding suspension
improvements in both front and back that upped skid pad performance
while not compromising drivability in more commonly encountered
situations - while many performance-centric cars are a task to
drive, this car certainly isn't one of them. Upgraded power disc
brakes at all four corners bring rapid stops, while smooth power
steering adds to this Shelby's driver-friendliness as it liquifies
asphalt on its 19" SVT wheels outfitted with 255/40/19 (front) and
285/35/19 (rear) Bridgestone low profile tires.
Exceptional power and tasteful, stare-inducing looks make this 2010
Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 a must-see. And with only 3,484 miles on
the odometer, it's still waiting to get broken-in. Call today!
